[ As the rolling blackouts have been going on, Rick has started to prepare the Police Department for the worst. He's doubled up on patrols in the inhabited area of Quarantine. He's stocked up on food and water to hand out just in case things get really bad. And he's checked the stocks of first aide, weapons and ammo supplies just in case. Everything is just in case. Always. But Rick is so accustomed to things falling apart that it's hard for him not to make that giant leap from blackouts to the worst possible scenario.

Next up is the hard part. He isn't all that good with people, not like he used to be. But at the same time, he needs to population to know they're here. Statistically speaking, crime rates rise during events like these. It's only appropriate for him to let people know they have options.

Obviously, text is easier than video, although he doesn't mind switching to video if he has to.

My name is Rick Grimes. I work with the Riverview Police Department. I know the blackouts are cconcering. Just stay calm and we'll all get through it together. There's people working on it who are well qualified, more so than most of us.

Just want to make sure the people know we're up and running if you need anything. Thanks.

I don't think anyone will turn down someone who knows what they're doing. That sort of seems to be the attitude I've noticed so far. Everything gets hairier when the lights go out, at least that's my experience. I'll be out there keeping an eye out. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

I like the buddy system most of the time. I know a couple of guys I think I can bully into patrolling with me. I think shifts are a good idea though then at least not everyone will be eating lunch at the same time.

I've been doing it since I was sixteen. [ There's a pause between this text and her next ]

Sort of. I specialize in monsters though [ That's close enough to the truth without going into detail over text messages. ]
